Michael LiPetri
HACH CAMPAIGN DEMANDS LiPETRI COME CLEAN ON RESUME FRAUD
LiPetri Has Spent Years Falsely Claiming that he “Successfully Prosecuted” Criminals – As Unpaid Intern Not Yet Admitted to the Bar!
The campaign of NY3 America-First congressional candidate Greg Hach today demanded that Mr. Hach’s primary opponent, perennially-losing candidate Michael LiPetri, come clean with voters about years of documented resume fraud. The Hach campaign demanded that Mr. LiPetri address repeated false claims that he “successfully prosecuted” criminals for tax fraud, drug trafficking, and disability discrimination, a claim that Newsday exposed as fabricated.
In truth, Mr. LiPetri was an unpaid law school intern at the time who hadn’t even passed the bar. As a non-lawyer, he could not legally prosecute anyone.
“Mike LiPetri has been dishonest with the voters of Long Island for years,” said Hach spokesman Bill O’Reilly. “He looked voters in the eye and told them he was a seasoned prosecutor who had put criminals behind bars when, in reality, he was just an intern. If Mr. LiPetri will lie about who he is to get elected, what won’t he lie about once he gets to Washington?”
Mr. LiPetri’s Assembly biography (he served one year in that body before announcing his first failed run for Congress) explicitly stated he had “worked in the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, Albany County District Attorney’s Office, and the Attorney General of the State of New York”, positions that Newsday confirmed were unpaid student internships. LiPetri was not admitted to the New York State Bar until January 21, 2016, years after he claimed to have prosecuted criminals.
LiPetri is now making a third run for a congressional seat, after being resoundingly rejected by voters twice.
Greg Hach, who has been named a “New York Super Lawyer,” has founded two successful New York City plaintiff firms. Mr. Hach, a father, husband, and U.S. Air Force veteran, is running on a platform of lowering costs, cutting taxes, border security, public safety, and restoring trust and common sense to Washington.
